    Study Title:

    A Randomized, Open-Label, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate Zimberelimab and Domvanalimab in Combination with Chemotherapy Versus Pembrolizumab with Chemotherapy for the First-Line Treatment of Patients With Metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer With No Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor or Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase Genomic Tumor Aberrations (STAR-121)

    Summary:

    The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of zimberelimab (ZIM) and domvanalimab (DOM) in combination with chemotherapy relative to pembrolizumab (PEMBRO) in combination with chemotherapy on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with untreated metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with no actionable genomic alteration.

    Objective:

    Primary Objectives - To compare the effect of ZIM and DOM in combination with chemotherapy relative to PEMBRO in combination with chemotherapy (Group A versus Group B) on: * Progression-free survival (PFS) according to RECIST v1.1 as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) * Overall survival (OS)

    • Have an active second malignancy or have had an active second malignancy within 3 years prior to enrollment.
    • Have an active autoimmune disease that required systemic treatment in past 2 years (i.e., with use of disease-modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs).
    • Are receiving chronic systemic steroids.
    • Have significant third-space fluid retention.
